Modern fly tying can indeed be considered an art. While this may sound unusual to some, it's a valid perspective. We are witnessing the development of thousands of talented fly tyers around the world, thanks to their presence on social media. This hobby has reached a completely new level.Today, the market is flooded with various techniques, materials, and tools. There is everything you can imagine—resources that the older generation of fly tyers probably never dreamed of.
However, there is one tool whose quality and importance in fly tying has never been questioned: good, high-quality, durable, and sharp scissors. This "must-have" tool is essential for every fly tyer, from beginners to experienced professionals.Several months ago, I had the opportunity to join the Renomed scissors community, a company recognized as a leading producer on a global scale. This family-owned business, based in Poland, has positioned itself at the top of the high-end scissors producers for fly tying. The quality of the flies you tie is strongly influenced by the quality and type of scissors you use. I speak from experience: before discovering Renomed, I tried various options, but nothing compares to their products.Here are three Renomed models that I personally consider the most practical and useful for all types of fly tying:
Model Fly Tyer - Super CutThis is the perfect all-around tool for everything you need, from small dry flies to large pike streamers. The curved blades allow you to cut with great precision.
Model FS5- These long scissors feature sharp long blades, making them suitable for any kind of saltwater flies. They are particularly amazing for larger pike flies and can handle cutting smaller items in one move of the blade.Cutting longer CDC before clipping has never been easier.
Model FS8- I never thought this kind of blade shape would be useful for fly tying, but it has proven to be invaluable. With a rounded top combined with the Supercut blade, it makes cutting foam a breeze. Additionally, cutting deer hair has never been easier, and I can also use these scissors to cut 0.1mm and 0.2mm metal wire for nymph ribbing.
Search for your local Renomed dealer and invest in a pair of scissors that will enhance your fly tying skills and provide many years of service.
